Strategies

Normally, the Super-Fan Imp is nearly identical in every way to the Imp. However, when All-Star Zombie appears in a level, the Super-Fan Imp has the potential to be a very dangerous opponent. When kicked by an All-Star Zombie, Super-Fan Imp is launched somewhere in the first three columns, instantly exploding and incinerating the plant on the tile, providing the tile has a plant on it.

A major thing to remember is that ice attacks cannot put out the dynamite on its hat, no matter if it is frozen or chilled, meaning that it can still incinerate the plant it lands on, despite being chilled.

Infi-nut's force field can be used to block launched Super-Fan Imps, as long as it is created from the first to third column. The launched Super-Fan Imp will land next to the force field, and will try to eat whatever plant is on its tile instead of exploding.

Like other airborne zombies, a well-timed Blover can take care of them very well. However, this is not encouraged in later levels of Highway to the Danger Room, as when these zombies, along with All-Star Zombies, come in large numbers, Blover will not recharge in time for the hordes of Super-Fan Imps. Therefore, it is easier to rely on the aforementioned Infi-nut strategy.

Electric Currant can be incredibly useful to defeat a kicked Super-Fan Imp. Even when airborne, it will still take damage from electrical fields (similar to other airborne zombies). Enough voltage will electrocute the Imp upon landing, thus saving the plant.

Due to Super-Fan Imp exploding before activating the lawn mower in its lane, the player does not have to worry about it eating the player's brain if it bypasses their defenses.

If Super-Fan Imp does manage to reach the first three columns near a plant, and if the player has shovel upgrades, then the player can try to shovel back the plant that is about to be incinerated to earn back sun. But if there are too many Super-Fan Imps, the player can try to shovel up the most expensive plants as fast as possible. However, this is not recommended as you will get less than the cost of the plant to replant it, and if you don't get enough sun, your defense will be severely weakened.

Using Explode-O-Nut while it is exploding is not a good idea as it will destroy it without making it explode.
